You will explore the slowness and rhythms of hand stitching; the versatility and strengths of embroidery for drawing and mark-making; and the pleasure in having time to make. Richard will be demonstrating simple hand embroidery techniques, no knowledge of embroidery techniques are needed.

STORE STORE is an innovative London based community project which have teamed up with the Barbican to organise a series of online individual artistic workshops. Designed to explore new materials and processes, every day a different artist, architect or designer is invited to teach a new craft.
